A guitarist cannot be measured by their accessories. One is no more or less a musician if they do not have the latest in guitar accessories and extra features. However, these unique guitar accessories would make excellent gifts for guitar enthusiasts everywhere, or serve as a practical purchase for budding players.
Cup Holders
Every musician knows the feeling. It's the middle of the second set and you're dying of thirst. Your water bottle is inconveniently located on the floor behind you, and you don't have time to bend down and reach for a quick drink in the next four bar drum solo. Enter one of the most unique guitar accessories ever invented - the cup holder. Think of the convenience and ease that drink holders provide in vehicles, and now think of them as mobile entities. Guitarists can enjoy a refreshing beverage at their finger tips with a cup holder that easily attaches to any microphone stand, music stand, or guitar stand. Never walk through the desert on stage unprepared again.
Pick Holders
Guitar players are forever putting their picks down and leaving them, dropping them, loaning them to friends, and misplacing them at the most inconvenient moments. A number of companies have come up with products to combat these problems, and they make rather unique guitar accessories. Pick holders now come in the form of key chains, or a clip that attaches right to the guitar for easy access. One especially innovative product features a wallet that has a built in place to store guitar picks, perfect for a man on the move with a tendency to misplace his guitar picks.
Personalized Picks
Looking for a way to keep track of your picks? Or are you looking for a stylish guitar accessory to give to a friend? Try ordering up some personalized picks. They come in all shapes and sizes. You can often times mix and match the weight, shape, color, and size of the picks in your assortment. It's a way to set a trend, or even a souvenir that could be passed out after a gig if you start to develop a fan base.
Quick Release Straps
For guitarists who often stand up to play, the guitar strap can present a number of difficulties. Most of them feature ties that are difficult to attach and remove if you decide that you want to just sit on the couch and jam. Enter the final unique guitar accessory - the quick release strap. This little feature has a seatbelt-like clip that can be attached and removed in one click. Install it on your guitar once and enjoy the freedom of strapped in or strapless playing.
Accessories won't make you play any faster. They won't improve your technique, and they won't give you what it takes to play killer riffs and tasty licks. Unique accessories can make you more comfortable and relaxed when you play, and give you a chance to focus on your guitar playing and shine as a musician.
